NetZero

NetZero turns 5 years old! To mark the occasion, a message from our co-founders: — Five years ago, biochar was still largely unknown outside a small expert circle. Looking back today, we are proud to have contributed to its increased visibility and real-world deployment. Over these five years, NetZero has demonstrated the immense potential of a truly end-to-end model: technology at the core, industrial excellence as a baseline, farmer support as a key enabler, and full traceability across operations. No loose promises, no glossy communication – but delivery: • 5 industrial sites commissioned • Battle-tested technology • Proven agronomic benefits • Certified carbon removal • Full compliance with the IFC Performance Standards on Environmental and Social Sustainability We are deeply grateful to all the people who made this possible: our incredible staff, our pioneering clients, and our supportive investors. We remain as dedicated and focused as day one on delivering on our mission to bring biochar at scale – even faster. In this context, you will increasingly hear about "NetZero One", a structured, franchise-based model to materially accelerate the replication and impact of our approach. An unprecedented endeavour in hot-process industrial operations, built for the many players willing to integrate biochar into their activities. Looking forward to the very exciting next five years! Axel, Olivier, Pedro, Aimé, & Jean Co-founders of NetZero

Last Friday, NetZero inaugurated its fourth biochar factory. Located in Brazil's largest coffee cluster, this milestone is an additional proof of NetZero's ability to quickly replicate its industrial model. Bringing together over 250 farmers as both biomass suppliers and biochar offtakers, the project will strongly contribute to the local agriculture and economy, having already created 25 direct jobs and over 100 indirect jobs.

We are proud to announce the signature of a MOU with Atvos, one of the largest biofuel producers in Brazil. Short term, the partnership aims at building a new sugarcane-based biochar facility, with already plans for future expansion in the country. This announcement comes only one week after launching the construction of NetZero’s first biochar factory dedicated to the processing of sugarcane residues, showing the momentum and growth potential for biochar in the sugarcane market. The new facility will be larger than the one announced last week and will be under our NetZero One model. To learn more, read our press release here: https://lnkd.in/eWgqPyjw

We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our operations to sugarcane – a major milestone in our growth strategy. Sugarcane is the world's most produced crop, and Brazil the largest producer of it. Every year, sugarcane farming and processing generates over 700 million tonnes of residues worldwide, making it the most scalable crop for biochar production. In this context, NetZero is launching in Brazil the construction of a new biochar facility dedicated to sugarcane residues, in partnership with Brunozzi Agropecuária – a large independent sugarcane farming company. A first in Brazil, the facility will use NetZero's Gen2 production system and will process both sugarcane leaves and sugarcane bagasse.
